	🕰 7:28pm Listener Gregory: Late arrival from watching the ball game (KC over Cincy). Ready for bed!
	7:28pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ DJ Peter @7:24 Wassermanns!
	7:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:28 Have you brushed your teeth? Washed behind your ears? Then I'll tell you a story and tuck you in.
	7:31pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ DJ Peter @7:24 And it is a young Donna Gaines before she became Donna Summer.
	🕰 7:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:29 Thanks, but please don't speak over the bed music.
	7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:31 in Deutsch? Wunderbar!
	7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:33 Literal LOL
	7:38pm Hill Country Fox: Firecrackers have started here!
	7:40pm DJ Peter: Thundervests on the doggos! Hang in there, pooches!
	7:41pm doctorjazz in Rehoboth Neech: Nice looking playlist! Not able to listen, visiting, but wishing all you Time Lords a Happy and a Healthy!
	7:43pm DJ Peter: Thanks Doc! Here's to 2024! The ball drops and the clock laughs!
	7:44pm doctorjazz in Rehoboth Neech: (Did buy some records to listen to, though)!
	7:44pm doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach: Correction...
	7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach @7:44 translate.google.com...
	7:47pm doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:28 That was an exhausting game!
	7:49pm doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach: Nice stereo at my friends, listened to VSOP, a recent Live Dead from London (Dark Star)
	7:50pm doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach: Ok, heading out catch the show later!
	🕰 7:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Acclamation" by "Max Roach & Abdullah Ibrahim" This is wonderful. Do I have this album?
	🕰 7:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach @7:50 HNY, @doctorj! Don't cut yourself on the Neeth.
	7:51pm doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach: ↳ Song: "Acclamation" by "Max Roach & Abdullah Ibrahim" Don't think I have it (MD I have a lot of AI)
	🕰 7:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach @7:51 If I ever saw it, I would have picked it up.
	7:53pm doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach: Found a used Roswell Rudd, Inside Job
	7:53pm doctorjazz in Rehoboth Beach: Now I'm gone, Happy Happy!
	7:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:52 I think I had to mail order it. Probably got wind via Downbeat (which I used to read cover to cover).
	🕰 7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:54 HA! I do have it. I also have Buddy Tate meets Abdullah Ibrahim, which is quite a pairing.
	7:58pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Song: "El Soul Condor" by "Certain Lions & Tigers" I think you meant… ICONIC.
	7:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:57 whaaaaaaaa.... (picks up jaw from floor) Amazing!
	7:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:58 Yeah this is pretty awesome isn't it... one more time!
	8:03pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Peter and all
	🕰 8:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:59 I mentioned it to @doctorj, and of course already had it.
	8:04pm DJ Peter: coelacanthø! Whatcha driving this week?
	🕰 8:05pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Li'l Darlin'" by "Pat Williams" I have heard that the original tempo of Li'l Darlin' was also faster than we would expect, and the Count suggested trying to do it slowly. Which stuck. I think that this version is better suited as bed music. I can't help mentally slowing it down the entire time.
	🕰 8:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Li'l Darlin'" by "Pat Williams" Stepford Wives or Valley of the Dolls?
	8:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:05 Yeah, that's a famous story. I don't buy it though. Unless Neal Hefti took the chart back and reharmonized it. I just don't think those voicings make any sense for a uptempo bounce.
	8:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:08 "Dolls" might be more accurate!
	8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:09 Of course the POINT of that story, that Basie had a better grasp of the tune than its composer -- THAT I believe.
	8:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:04 '62 plymouth... valiant, or "belvadere" ...I think it's Beautiful but some people don't seem to think so!
	8:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:14 I dig it! As Frank Miller says in one of the "Sin City" comics, modern cars all look like electric shavers.
	8:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:17 that's more technically accurate than "doo-doo"!
	🕰 8:25pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Bra Timing from Phomolong" by "Abdullah Ibrahim &... Who put the long into Phomolong-a-ding-dong?
	8:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:25 OMG LG, you have the "Bra Timing" of a master humorist!
	🕰 8:31pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Keep a Song in Your Soul" by "Fletcher Henderson ... Give the tuba some! BTW, this is a wonderful compilation with perhaps the worst title in history. Who wants to buy an album all about frustration?? But the music is joyful and exciting.
	8:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:31 You're gonna love the title of the next Kirby tune...
	🕰 8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Rehearsin' For a Nervous Breakdown" by "The John ... This is hot. I don't know Kirby at all, so thanks for bringing him to our attention.
	8:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:41 Rumor has it there's a Mosaic box in the works!
	8:45pm Listener Gregory: That would be nice.
	🕰 8:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Travelin' Man" by "Stanley Cowell" Yes, I also heard a Raymond Scott connection.
	8:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 Good, glad it's not just me!
	8:50pm Hill Country Fox: Lady C and I love it when you say carping!! 🎣
	8:51pm DJ Peter: Why do you think I say it! I pander!
	8:53pm tom tom the pipers son: hi just goy here...pandering to the miss-ez
	8:53pm tom tom the pipers son: i am a goy
	8:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:53 It's not pandering then: happy wife, happy life!
	8:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:54 well pandering, not flirtatious
	8:57pm Hill Country Fox: Another lovely Sunday… until the next one. Nite, nite my dears.
	8:59pm DJ Peter: See you in the New Year everybody!
	8:59pm tom tom the pipers son: have a nice week hcf!
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Great show, Peter, thanks! However, the carping will certainly continue.
	9:00pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:59 I would be disappointed if it didn't!
	9:00pm Hill Country Fox: Viva carps!!! 🎣🎣🎣🎣
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter! Happy new year!
	4:18pm doctorjazz: Was away, as noted, just at the end of the catch-up visit (in the Kirby set). Great show (love Kirby and Abdullah Ibrahim, put a show together with them both, you got me). Think I have both Ibrahim albums (got home late yesterday, didn't get a chance to check for the Roach/Ibrahim, but it sounds very familiar; I do have the Dollar Brand/Buddy Tate) and lots of Kirby at home. Never heard of Certain Lions and Tigers, liked their track. Wishing you much fine jazz (live and otherwise) and other great stuff in the New Year!
	4:24pm doctorjazz: (Oh, and thanks for "outing" the bed music, but don't expect no more carping...)

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from December 31, 2023

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

Think I have both Ibrahim albums (got home late yesterday, didn't get a chance to check for the Roach/Ibrahim, but it sounds very familiar; I do have the Dollar Brand/Buddy Tate) and lots of Kirby at home. Never heard of Certain Lions and Tigers, liked their track. Wishing you much fine jazz (live and otherwise) and other great stuff in the New Year!
